Well, the one I bought on Ebay last Sunday arrived today. It's there, it's real, and man is that a serious looking board.
I'll do some analysis then try powering it up tonight. But I now have a Monarch to... experiment... with. Bwahaha and all that. :-)

Well, now I did it: I am an official proud owner of a BFL 700gh monarch, just bought on Ebay for "$1,000 in Bitcoin". Great... :-)
My guess is I'll have it by Wed/Thu and I'll sit down and take it apart. Because no one else is doing so right now, so why the heck not?
:-) Then... Then we shall see what we can do with it. Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Ahem.

Emphasis mine.
well goes to show curiosity and tinkering are a dangerous combination....some do the occult others look at the dark workings of evil
asic manufacturer's like BFL....be sure to set aside some $$$ for the chicken entrails and the 'voodoo for dummies" book
such evil you will need it (ah tempting fate you are!)
